THE PALMETTO SHIELD
Heartache*.
As the shadows of Ihe lamp flicker
and play strange freaks across the
carpet, we bend down our heads and
turn aside from the merry games and
uright smile's that wreath the face ol
Hope, to call memory from the corner
of our heart were we t > ofieu hid her
linger. Siie comes up t. our Call, and,
ih ugh stray lines of sunshine linger
here and there, Lor stray lines of wel
come are sad ones, and speak to us
of friends dead and hopes crushed.
YVe are going back trow, down the
shady valley that en otnbed the tdd
red house ; we are looking away back
years and years at balls, and, tops,
and lumps, young lads shouting lu
their sports and games. We nee moth'
or at the door, and the fool falls of our
Companions < elio tip toe gravel walk.
YY'c follow with onr eyes t e fingei
of meu ory, and we set the cold, ghost
like tombstones grouped together in
the hill side grave yard. YY’c see the
sighs and tears that Hope has never
blotted out : we follow each step fr< m
boyhood to silver locks! Years ago a
bar y voices rang through tile parlor
and kitchen ; a baby laugh rippled
out in little waves, the chubby white
foot pattered over the fl or : baby
smiles welcomed us at (lie door, and
the little fingers felt in our pockets
to grasp a reward. Hope told us of a
life, for him that should, in they grey
locks of life, cheer and bless us. YVe
unlock the sacred drawer and takeout
the wooden horse, the ball of string
- 1
two li tle brown marbles, and a great
pain lugs at our hearts. YVe see a
snowy cot, heat little groans of pain
and anguish, sec the death angel stand
in the door and weep with us while
she bids him cane. A little coffin, a
stillness in tli> house, a tiny grave.
Oli ! Memory, yon bring hot, bitter
tears ; you wrench down with ruthless
hand tbe wall which hope had built to
prevent ns frtmi looking over the des
ert spots ol life.
“ Tnrmbarkwanl, bit 1 Time.’’ Give
again the bounding steps of youth,
the merry laugh, the bright spots of
stuostLinu Urai clouds ha vie since turn
ed into funeral palls. We ate grow
in - old—we are groping in darkness
that lead - us along the unknown shore.
We smile sadly at the beckoniugs of
Hope. We wish to be young again ;
to have no heartaches and wrinkles ol
care. We want to see that coffined
form arise and start into life, and bear
a mother’s kind good night, and feel
her soft, hand on our locks a* she prays
that He may guide our young hot in
tho right ditoolson. Wo want the kind
words of a farther, to hear the merry
laugh of a sister, to feel that some sigh
for onr wandering and smile at oui bet -
ter deeds. Take hack our grey hairs
and our burdensome years. Give us
onr life to begin again. Sweep away
these tokens wet with tear fa I ; at.d
tell us that Memory lets guided us
wrongly.
Havepi'y, Father Time ! You weie
never young. You never grow old.
There is no one t > make Inn of your
faltering steps, no one to l augh at
your grey hairs. We love the e'ear
sunlight, the green trees, the beauti

PALMETTO, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1873.
ilew a Newspaper Was Started.
Years ago an educated but rather
fast young Englishman, having run
through all his ready money by a long
course of fashionable dissipation in the
chief cities of the Continent, found
himself one day in Paris, with his
means of livelihood nearly exhausted,
and credit entirely gno This state
ot things—almost face to face with
want—set him to reflecting seriously,
for the first time in several years.—
‘Something must be done,’ mused he,
‘ and that right qtiiekly. Bread and
batter must be had, and there is no
money in niy trowsurs wherewith to
get it; or, at best, only sufficient to
last, with economy, three or four days
longer; and, then what ?’ Being nat
urally shrewd, of an inventive turn of
mind, and a very ready ink slingist,
he quickly formed the determination of
turning these qualities to present ac
count. ‘Necessity is the mother of in
vention,’ ii is said. His resolution to
strike out in his new course was no
sooner taken than lie proceeded to put
it into ex' cution.
On t a kill'' account of stock our im
pecunious friend finds he lie lias just
sufficient funds on hand to settle up
with his landlady for bis last lodg ngs,
take him across the cl annul to London,
and insert an advertisement he had
studied up and prepared, three times
in two daily papeis of the city. ‘And
what was tli's cuiious ad vet tisement ?’
very naturally asks the reader. It
simply called for five hundred news
boys to sell anew daily paper about
to sta t. As their cornmisdon for do
ing this they were to receive an extra
per centage, but. as a guarantee (and
here conns in the joke), each boy to
be employed must ! euve with his em
ployer ju t one pound sterling. Tills
conditii u was peremptorily insisted on
in every case. But the extra inducer
ment had the desired effect—in fact, it
G ok admiradly, for in less tin. n a week
the five hundred boys, or their friends
for them, had applied, registered their
names, and £SOO sterling were duly
deposited.
Mr. Smithson, onr embryo journalist,
now set himself to work niglit and
day to get up a daily paper. Aside
from a few paying advertisements and
some shilling notices, he himself wrote
up the entire contents of the
sheer, and ou the day the

MOB YIOLF.M'! IN GRANT
PABISiI.
What the Negroes nrc Aboikt.
On Tuesday evening last, Judge
Rutland, of Colfax, Grant Parish, was
accosted by a large body of armed
negroes, headed by one Flowers, a
member of the Legislature, and the
mob ordered Judge Rutland to leave
the parish of Grant. He was given
fifteen minutes to make his start, un
der the penalty of being killed if lie
refused to do so.
The Judge quietly left within the
time given, and his wife and family
followed him as sooturs they could get
a small amount of wearing apparel
together.
That night his house was broken
open by jlie mob, his furniture broken
to pieces and bis household goods all
stolen.
During die night the mob were yelV
ing and shouting all around. In the
village they fired into the house of Mr.
Richardson endangering his lifo and
the lives of his family.
On YVedrresday morning the mob
oidered \!r. Richardson to leave within
ten minutes. lie obeyed, and he and
bis family crossed to the east side of
the river. As soon as they were gone
their house was broken open and rob/
bed of its contents.
Another house was abobn ken open
and robbed by the mob of YY’t dn sday
During tbe nights of Wednesday
and Thurs'ay guns were fired for spin
eral miles around the town by the ne
groes, killing tie cattle and hogs of
the v hites.
Oti Friday, Butler, a freed mar, who
is a merchant, and boars a reputation
above reproach, culled on Register,the
parish judge, to take measures to stop
this rapine and outrage, and he de
clined to interfere in any way; where
upon Butler tried all his power of per
suasion to stop their unlawful outrages,
and the mob gave Butler a few min
utes’ notice to leave the country.—
